The secret shame of Afghanistan's bacha bazi 'dancing boys' who are made to dress like little girls, then abused by paedophiles

Bacha bazi, meaning 'boy play', is a tradition found across Afghanistan, where boys dress as women and perform

But these boys, some as young as 10, are also sexually abused by the men - passed around after the parties

The stigma of having been a 'bacha bereesh' sees the victims shunned by their families and society

However, 'owning' more than one boy is seen as a display of both power and wealth among some Afghan war lords
